Hi,
I've just bought my Pixel 3 - awesome Device!
The only thing I don't like is that I cannot set wifio call to "Wifi preferred".
The thing is, in my home the mobile signal is switching between strong enough for mobile signal and too weak.
I'd like to force my device to use wifi as soon as available without having to use the plane mode.
On my device, I cannot select any options to prefer wifi, it's set to "mobile preferred".
Is there any possibility to force my pixel to "wifi preferred"?
If possible without rooting it, but if I have to - ok.
Best wishes and thanks in advance
It's currently not possible. There are many threads in the Telekom customer forum complaining about that. I think I read that Telekom might change that in the future though.

Ok, thanks for the info. That's a questionable decision for sure -.-

Hi.
I have a problem. I habe only Edge since 2 weeks. My nexus has stock Android, no flashing.
One day to an other, i havent 3G anymore. It doesn't matter where am I.
Same problem in security mode.
What can I do?

Call your network provider. Ensure there aren't any 3G problems and that you have the correct APN.
My simcart works in other phones. :-/

Check your APN then.
I checked my apns. All seems good :-/
Check the network setting!
Change to LTE then to 3G and to 2G and then back to what you want! Wait for a few second between the changes until the network is back again.
There might be some settings error to be overwritten by manually changing the settings.

OK, i did it but nothing happen.
Can you test another SIM card then in the Nexus?
If there's also no 3G although available, there might be a defect in your Nexus device.

I heard something about a coming Baseband update. Do you thing this could help?
Hi everyone.
I'm having a strange issue with my internet connection. The phone connects to 3G fine, but whenever a go into a zone with no or bad 3G coverage (at work for example) and the phone switches to 2G, it'll sometimes stay in 2G even after going into a good 3G coverage area (at home). It doesn't happen every time, but happens a lot. The only way to make it switch back to 3G is by forcing "WCDMA only" through the *#*#4636#*#* menu. I could just leave it there, but then I'd have no connection at all when I'm at work, so I switch it back to "GSM auto (PRL)".
Usually, when the phone parks in EDGE, the network settings don't change, it stays in "GSM auto (PRL)" but it just won't switch to H. Today, though, it switched to "GSM only" by itself, which it had never done before.
I had this same issue with my previous phone (Huawei ascend P6), so I thought that it was probably a problem with the SIM card, so I asked for a new one but nothing changed.
I've seen a few posts regarding similar issues but most of them are very old and none of them have been very helpful. I hope someone can give me a hand here.
I have a Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 - No root
Thanks.
My phone sometimes gets stuck in 3g instead of handing off to LTE. I just toggle airplane mode on and off and it immediately goes to LTE. I know it's not a fix, but it is a pretty quick way to get your data back.
Data connectivity issues are by far the most irritating, considering how much it costs to have a device like this...

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't work for me. The only way is through the #*#*4363*#*# menu.
That sucks man.
I'm not sure there is a fix for this. Other than Google fixing it in the baseband. You would think that if the problem were in the source code that this would have been resolved by some of the devs here on XDA. I have had these problems for a few years, and on other devices as well.
I guess I'll have to live with it. Thanks anyway, man.

I need your help.
On my stock rooted (.77 KK) D6603 "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup" is generating a massive amount of Alarm trigger and I think it is the reason of my phone not getting into deep sleep. It happens (when connected to 3G) at a scary pace of 12-13 per minute!!
It should be related to 3G switch to H+. I'm not pretty sure. In 2G it goes away.
Can you help? Am I the only one? I saw some similar issue with other Xperia(s), but nothing on the Z3.
Thanks.
Here is what I'm talking about....
Me too, have the same issue.

com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup battery drain are usualy caused by fast dormancy (a quick explanation about Fast Dormancy...when your phone is connected via data (not wifi) your phone needs to enter certain states in order to maintain this connection. If your Operator does not have FD support or you have it disabled, then basically your states are just connected or not connected. What this means is that every time your phone connects to data, it will have to go through all of its internal functions in order to achieve the connection and perform the data transfer. This is slow and obviously the more processing that is required, the more the hit on battery. FD tries to limit this problem by having several different states. Each state has a different level of connection throughput and power consumption...but most of the time it is due to the antenna you connect to...)
to fix the wakelocks, find your carrier MCC and MNC in your APN settings, then with a root explorer go to etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt from there edit the MCC and MNC that are set to 0 (zero) to the number you got from your APN, save the changes and reboot....
You should be all good after that, make a backup before changing anything (or at least backup your old fd_custm_conf.txt file) to stay on the safe side, I had to dig up my old xperia ion for this as I remembered that I had that same problem back then

Thanks a lot for the very informative help.
I guess I should first check if my carrier is supporting it or not (Vodafone in Italy). Any suggestion?
Then my concern is that when I'll be travelling and using data on roaming I'll have to switch back to original settings. Can you confirm?
Thanks a lot.

Can confirm the positive effect on battery of this change. I have D6633 on 3 uk and Vodafone. Active data set to 3.
About to got to Amsterdam, then Madrid, Germany and Austria in next week, then USA. Will report back any issues
I confirm a positive impact on sleep attitude of my phone as well as the fact the alarm com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup disappeared!!
I've also read that some providers (Vodafone ITA in my case) can use/enable FD at a cell level. This could be the explanation why I noticed a sudden decrease in battery life in my workplace. Could it be that they disabled FD at a certain point in time????
I'll report back about actual battery life impact in a couple of days.
Thanks.

Since it's carrier related (and or cell tower dependent) you might have to adjust accordingly...but that's going to be from your experience....from what I recall my Xperia ion was fine after that while traveling back then but I haven't used that phone in a long time and my Z3 right now doesn't have that issue....
Anyhow it's an easy fix if the matter returns while you travel
Glad I could help

Understood now. With your suggestion I've disabled FD only for my current APN/Provider and whatever provider that has the same combination of MCC and MNC.

Hi
I have a Oneplus 6 8G/128G, upgraded to 9.0.4 through the standard OTA channel. Since I changed my telephone operator, from Vodafone to Wind3, I'm experiencing loss of GPS signal during phone call. If I change my SIM and plug a TIM or VODAFONE one, and I still stay in the same cell area, the GPS signal is correct.
The only way to have GPS working during call, is to force the phone in 2G mode only. If I set 2G/3G or 2G/3G/4G the problem occurs.
So it seems that there is a interoperability problem between GPS and the GSM cell, but this is a bug of the phone: it I put my WIND3 SIM in a different brand phone, it works.
Is someone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks
Stefano
Yup, same problem here. I fear it's hardware. I've had the problem for all the latest beta versions of Oxygen OS
I experienced that it happens in some area and not in other area.. Here where I live it works well, while where I was last week not at all. It seems something related with LTE which tricks the firmware of the phone in some way. If they do not solve, I think I will change my phone...
My gps works ok if you are on 4g or 2g network, even in airplane mode. But if the network drops to 3g network the gps gets unstable, I realized this by taking a road trip.
I suggest you take this test
Yes, I can confirm that it works in airplane mode and in 2G 3G 4G mode when I'm in my home location. In some other places it does not work.
And so?
Same problem here, also with new 9.0.4 or the old version of os . I hope for fix. (forse conviene segnalarla sul forum ufficiale)
Problem has been solved: Oneplus sold and Galaxy Note 8 bought. So here is the end of my experience with this Oneplus which, in the end, cannot be used for professional purposes but only for playing...
Same problem with 6T McLaren
I have the same problem, during phone call gps signal is going away, if I put in airplane mode GPS is working wll, so it's not necessary tho have Mobil network or wifi. phone is updated to the latest version of Android 9 beta. Contacting the italian support team the say that it's correct to work in this way, because during phone call connection drop to h and gps nedd 3G or 4G for working, it's a crazy answer because in offline mode gps works correctly.

I agree with you, this is a crazy and unacceptable answer. Unfortunately italian support teams are really bad in their job and with no technical skills (I have experienced the same with Samsung and Huawei service centers).
Anyway I think that there is a possible solution (at least with providers other than Wind-TRE): by enabling VoLTE in the service menu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-enable-volte-forcefully-activated-t3797538) some people reported that magically the GPS works correctly during phone call.
I was not able to let it work with my provider, Wind-TRE, because they have not VoLTE activated, but maybe if you have a different provider it worths a trial. I remember that when I had Vodafone as provider, the GPS always worked well and it started to fail once moved to Wind-TRE.
Let me know if it works!
After more tests I discovered that GPS signal is coming again after 4 minutes of call and continue to work, so this is a bug, no 4G or internet connection problem. Another problem is to contact OnePlus skilled support interface no one that admit that there is a problem, this is crazy!

It seems to be a Bluetooth and WI FI interference, tried reseting the network configuration but still nothing.
Any help?
thought I was the only one! I always have to choose a 5 GHz network in order to get useable wifi when using bluetooth (which I need for our Corona warn app)
would love to get an answer too

Unfortunately you are not alone.
I read about many cases, even with S10 or other models. Probably is a software issue.
So, in your case, works as it should when turning off the Bluetooth?
The WiFi network at work is 2.4 Ghz only, so no workaround for me.
Was looking for a way to force software updates, maybe with an India VPN, they get faster updates there.
Good luck.
